Easy to make 2 HOUR Crockpot Bread recipe. Throw it in the crock pot and you will have soft homemade bread in 2 hours! This is the best bread to serve with creamy soups and casseroles. 

I have not been this excited about sharing a recipe in quite some time.  This Crockpot Bread is easy to make, it’s delicious and I’m so addicted I made it 2 times this week already! The bread is soft, moist and is perfect for dipping in a big bowl of creamy tomato soup or cheeseburger soup!

What is Crockpot Bread?

Crockpot Bread is homemade bread made in your crockpot.  This loaf of bread is soft on the inside, with a crusty top.  I love it because it’s easy to make and tastes delicious.  Here’s a quick video I made to show you how simple it is to make. 

Ingredients

Here’s everything you need to make this homemade bread. You probably already have everything in your pantry!

  1. warm water
  2. sugar
  3. active dry yeast
  4. salt
  5. vegetable oil
  6. all purpose flour
  7. rosemary (optional, but I love it!)

How to Bake Bread in the Crockpot 

Pour warm water into a large bowl. Add sugar and mix until dissolved. Add dry yeast and stir. Let sit for about 10 minutes until foamy. I always find it helps to sit it in a warm spot.

Add salt to bowl and stir to dissolve. Add vegetable oil. Add flour and mix with hands until everything is combined. Knead the dough for 5 minutes and form into a round ball.

Place dough in olive oil coated bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Sit in a warm spot for 30 minutes to rise, doubling in size.  Here’s a before and after so you can see how it rises.

Cut a piece of parchment paper that is the size of your slow cooker bottom and about 2 inches up the side.  It’s important that you go up the sides as your dough will expand (it’s turning into bread!) and you don’t want it to stick to the side of the slow cooker. Additionally, I like to spray the parchment paper with nonstick spray.  Place your dough into slow cooker.  I like to sprinkle rosemary on top too.

Cook on HIGH for 2 hours. Remove from slow cooker and brush a little bit of butter on top.

From there you can serve as is, or if you like more of a crusty bread, you can broil the top of the bread.  To do this, slightly butter the top of the bread and stick it in your oven under the broiler (or toaster oven on broil) for about 1 minute.  Watch your bread like a hawk while you broil as it can burn very quickly.  Mine usually takes about 1 minute.   Now look at this crusty top!

I’ve really fallen in love with this bread recipe and it will be a weekly staple in my kitchen.   This afternoon Matthew was making lasagna for dinner and requested that I make this bread to go along with it.   Whenever you need some fresh bread, don’t stress out and take hours making it, try this recipe! 

I hope you enjoy my Crockpot bread recipe!

Easy to make 2 HOUR Crockpot Bread recipe. Throw it in the crock pot and you will have soft homemade bread in 2 hours! This is the best bread to serve with creamy soups and casseroles. 
Prep Time: 45 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours
serves 10

Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • rosemary optional

Instructions

  • Pour warm water into a large bowl.  Add sugar and mix until dissolved.  Add dry yeast and stir.  Let sit for about 10 minutes until foamy.  I always find it helps to sit it in a warm spot.
  • Add salt to bowl and stir to dissolve.  Add vegetable oil.
  • Add flour and mix with hands until everything is combined.  Knead the dough for 5 minutes and form into a round ball.
  • Place dough in olive oil coated bowl and cover with plastic wrap.  Sit in a warm spot for 30 minutes to rise, doubling in size.
  • Cut a piece of parchment paper and place in bottom of slow cooker.  Make sure the parchment paper comes up the bottom of the sides of the slow cooker so when the bread expands it won’t stick to the sides.  Additionally, I like to spray the parchment paper with nonstick spray.
  • Place your dough into slow cooker.  Sprinkle with rosemary.
  • Cook on HIGH for 2 hours.
  • Remove from slow cooker and brush a little bit of butter on top.  Place under broiler for about 1 minute until slightly brown.  Keep a eye on it and make sure it does not burn!  Broiling is not a necessary step but I recommend it to get the top crispy!

    This is hands down one of the easiest and best bread recipes I have tried. (I do have a crockpot insert that I used.) Yum!

    Hi! I am wondering if I could use a slow-cooker liner (made especially for crockpots) instead of parchment paper to make this bread? (I don’t know if you have tried them, but they are great. No cleanup!) TIA!

    I would love to make this, but every crockpot I’ve ever had gathers so much moisture on the lid that when taken off it douses whatever is below in the pot with a bunch of water. How does one avoid soggy bread then? Any help or tips is appreciated. Thank you so much.

      I don’t know if this helps but when I could rice in an old, basic cooker, I put paper towels on top before I put the lid on. The paper towels soak up the steam. It may work with the crock pot as well.

    Can you mix it with a kitchen aide or does it need to be hand kneaded?

      I hand knead but you can use a mixer if you prefer.

    This was the first time I have ever made bread. It was so easy to make and to think it was cooked in a crock pot!. It just blows my mind. I was wondering, is there a reason why you just don’t turn over the bread after the 2 hours and let it brown? Just trying to get out of using the broiler.

      Have you tried this yet? I like the idea of not turning on the oven for just a few minutes.

    First time I have attempted bread. This recipe is a must try for beginners like me. Followed directions exactly and I couldn’t believe it actually worked for me, as usually SOMETHING will go wrong when I’m attempting a recipe for the first time. I probably could have used less sugar and more salt, but that’s a personal preference. Also used the rosemary and glad I did.
    Under the broiler until my browned preference made the bread so deliciously brown/crispy on top.
    Still can’t believe I made this beautiful loaf that’s sitting my counter!
    Great recipe!
